| Arcade Fire – Deep Blue Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| what a beautiful song! I guess its about the passing of primal feelings, like the ones we have in the earlier part of our life. Feelings that are unique in their intensity, and leave only a memory...as they are never again that strong. I have to say I'm not crazy about the whole put down that cellphone lines, as there's a tiny bit of pretentiousness in it. the cell and the laptop can be contain that same wildness in a way. fantastic song in any case, makes ya think... | |

| Noah and the Whale – Slow Glass Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| First days of Spring is a masterpiece! The first few times I listened to it, I was mesmerized. The whole flow from the recently broken heart to the emotional processing of the relationship, that finally comes to terms with the last 3 songs. "Slow Glass" is about a a new perspective. Suddenly the writer sees the relationship with different eyes. He views his former self as a blind man, walking in an obscure reality, that is managed and manipulated by the negative dynamic between him and his special lady friend. He wakes up to find a different self, the veil has been lifted and his view is clear now. How many of us have had this same experience. Thinking that reality is one thing, only to find at a later point in life that we were totally wrong in interpreting it. | |
| Conor Oberst – Lenders in the Temple Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
:) you are all very silly. it's: Mandala learn all about it right here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandala ---------- dear Conor is talking about a moment where a whole complex entity is destroyed. Like the practice of making a Mandala from tiny rocks, which is magnificently rich and detailed, for a whole year by Buddhist monks - which then destroy it in a second, only to begin a new one the next day. |

| The Bees – Chicken Payback Lyrics | 18 years ago |

what do you mean what did we do to the monkey?!!! like, hello? ever heard about poor caged monkeys in labs - getting tested with chemicals for all sorts of cosmetics and BS products like that? what about those poor apes in Africa - being hunted down for their meat? what about our tree climbing ancestors from south America - that have their environment used and abused for cynical capitalist companies? |

| The Bees – Chicken Payback Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
this is a sad sad song about the sad sad life of farm animals and their friends. Let's see who are the characters this song portrays: Chicken, piggy, monkey, camel, donkey. These are all animals that throughout the course of history - suffered horribly from the hands of men. These races of animals - have been used and abused for thousands of years. Humans have killed them and ate them, humans have stolen their babies and unborn children. Their skins have been stripped away, their eggs taken and boiled, cruel experiments are being done to them on a daily basis, they are being treated cruelly, they are forever enslaved and tortured. Now is the time for their payback. Now comes a new era - the age of the Chicken and the Donkey and the Monkey, and the Piggy and all the rest. And they come with a vengeance. They are very angry with us - for treating them so badly - and so the PAYBACK.....they will pay us back for everything we ever did to them. |

| Nick Drake – Things Behind the Sun Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
First of all - if anyone would ever ask me to make a list of the best 10 songs ever - I would list this one. It's so beautiful - that when I heard for the first time - while i was driving, I had to pull over and almost cried. It's so so very beautiful - it just rips my heart out each time I listen to it. So powerful. As for what it means to me - I think it's about the phoenix rising. The possibility of emerging strong and beautiful from the pits of despair. It describes the lowest of the low - paranoid feeling (beware! people stare) - death and morbidity ("Look around you find the ground is not so far from where you are ") and all this is mixed with the highest of emotions - a magical enlightened happening ("Don't be shy you learn to fly and see the sun when day is done "). |

| Neil Young – Let's Impeach The President Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The sad thing about this brave song, is that it makes most of the pop-rock song out there seem meaningless. What happened to the voices of the generations that came after Young? where is their voice? why is Young the only political song writer out there? | |
| The Shins – Phantom Limb Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| well - i love "The Shins" they really shake and bake my world. but i gotta say - there is a wide gap between their music to their lyrics. while their music is amazing, the lyrics are childish and kinda meaningess... | |
